Guiding this saga is the visionary director Kim Hong-sun, celebrated for his acclaimed projects like Netflix series Money Heist: Joint Economic Area, LUCA: The Beginning, and The Guest. Joining forces with him is the brilliant screenwriter Kim Jin-A, known for her work on Dr. Brain. Together, they promise to deliver a historical drama that will captivate audiences globally.
